Notes:
The model has a diecast boiler and tender, and labeled for both the Nickel Plate railroad and American Flyer Lines. It features a working headlight, smoke, and choo-choo sound unit. It also has an air chime whistle (the only 0-8-0 to have one). For better traction, it has Pull-Mor traction tires. It has either a four- or a two-position reverse unit. There is only one variation of this model.
